...
Akira was shocked. Had Aizen's special nature been discovered?! Could it be that the hidden evil in his personality had been seen through by the other party? Was he about to be sent to the Muken ? And…
Who is this beautiful woman?
"However…"
The elegant woman's gaze shifted to Akira, changing her focus:
"It seems you are quite special too."
"Allow me to introduce myself, I am Shutara Senjumaru, head of the 12th Division's research team."
The woman's graceful demeanor and noble aura made her seem unlike a typical researcher.
Upon hearing her introduction, Akira was even more shocked. Although he couldn't remember the details clearly, he had a vivid memory of certain key figures' appearances.
In his memory, Shutara Senjumaru…
Wait!
If you add the intricate golden hair ornaments, paired with the exclusive white haori of the Zero Division, and a few golden skeletal arms…
It matches.
It completely matches the image in his memory.
After staring at the woman for nearly a minute, Akira frowned.
"Young man, your gaze is quite rude."
"Is there something wrong with my appearance today?"
Senjumaru smiled, her words carrying a hint of reproach but without any real blame.
"I just think you look better now."
Akira answered honestly. Without the complex golden ornaments, Senjumaru seemed more approachable.
Of course, this was relative.
If he remembered correctly, this elegant woman would soon be promoted to the Zero Division.
Even if she wasn't currently the captain of the 12th Division for some reason, her status wouldn't be any less than any captain.
"You are quite the smooth talker, young man."
"Unfortunately, I will be leaving Seireitei soon. Otherwise, inviting you to the 12th Division would be a good choice."
Flattery always works, especially when it's sincere and without malice.
Senjumaru took a silver-white, hard brick from a metal counter beside her.
"This is a Hollow Circuit Device, used to detect the spiritual pressure circuits of Hollows infiltrating the Soul Society."
"It's simple to use. Inject spiritual pressure within the Hollow's activity range to activate it, and it will automatically capture the location of the group of Hollows."
"Alright, the meeting is over."
A woman's mood can change like the weather in June.
One moment they were chatting happily, the next she was sending him away.
"Mayuri, see the guest out."
At her command, a figure emerged from the lab, grumbling, his face covered in white paint, filled with anger and dissatisfaction towards his superior.
"Damn it, can't you just tell them to leave directly?"
"Why bother me with such trivial matters? The experiment is at a critical stage!"
Akira curiously observed the man before him, with his blue pompadour hairstyle, white paint-covered face, eyepatch mask, and yellow conical ear covers, he didn't look human at all.
Although he didn't match the Mayuri in his memory exactly, his aura and appearance were already somewhat similar to his future self.
He had thought Urahara Kisuke was Mayuri's predecessor, but it turned out Mayuri was already doing research in the 12th Division before Urahara became captain.
No wonder he was so displeased with Urahara. Anyone would be upset if a junior surpassed them.
Seeing the young man standing there in a daze, Mayuri frowned, a look of pity in his eyes.
This kid, isn't he a bit of an idiot?
"Let's go, kid."
Mayuri said impatiently, "How long do you plan to stay here?"
"Hurry up and leave, don't disturb my experiments."
Under his urging, the two took the Hollow Circuit Device and left the research lab.
On the way to Santeiji Temple, Akira looked around and, seeing no one, whispered:
"Aizen, do you think Senjumaru foresaw that you would rebel against the Soul Society and become a great evil, which is why she said you are special?"
Aizen glanced at him calmly and said:
"She said the same about you."
"Does that mean you will follow the same path as me?"
Hearing this, Akira frowned, his mouth slightly open, making a "hissing" sound.
From recent signs, it seemed…
It wasn't impossible!
Could it be…
I will also stand at the top of the world?
With such thoughts, Akira walked worriedly towards Rukongai until they reached their mission location.
…
Santeiji Temple.
Some time had passed since the massacre of civilians, and the residents had returned to their normal lives. The streets were bustling again, filled with people.
Akira and Aizen's arrival didn't attract much attention.
As one of the front districts, Santeiji Temple often saw Shinigami passing by, so two students from the Spiritual Arts Academy didn't cause a stir.
"The target's last known location is in the outskirts."
Aizen said seriously, "We should see it after crossing the last street."
Akira held the brick-like Hollow Circuit Device, trying to inject spiritual pressure to activate it.
After a moment, red grid lines appeared on the silver brick.
It showed a green dot representing himself and two red dots representing the Hollows.
Seeing this, Akira grinned:
"This Hollow Circuit Device is quite handy."
"We've just arrived and already located the Hollows. Perfect, one for each of us."
Aizen glanced at it without saying much and followed the direction indicated.
For some reason, after arriving at Santeiji Temple, he had a bad feeling.
It was as if…
Something was about to happen.
This feeling of not being able to control his own fate was really unpleasant.
In the outskirts.
In front of a dark, deep cave.
"They should be hiding here."
Aizen confirmed the location one last time and looked up at the cave.
"Let's finish this quickly and go back to eat."
Akira grinned, but didn't rush into the cave.
He spread his right hand, facing forward:
"Bakudō #21: Sekienton."
In an instant, a large amount of red smoke exploded from his palm, flooding into the darkness.
Electric arcs crackled and danced within the smoke, emitting sharp screeches.
Finally, with a spark of fire.
Boom!!
With a low roar, scorching flames burst forth, layers of heavy airwaves reverberating within the mountain, creating deafening roars.
The flames swirled, spewing out of the narrow cave entrance, forming a spectacular scene of a fiery inferno.

...
btw the name of the temple has been changed from before. I kinda forgot to change the og name with a japanese version. Its santenji temple now.
